Anne Applebaum has been tracking the slide away from democracy for decades. But, she says, what is happening right now is unprecedented.

The Pulitzer Prize-winning historian and journalist joined us in the Tortoise to discuss her latest book, Autocracy, Inc., which delves into the intricate and novel webs of modern authoritarian regimes, from Russia, to China, Iran, Venezuela and North Korea. She exposes how autocrats are collaborating across borders to undermine democratic institutions, and shines a spotlight on the the kleptocratic financial structures, surveillance technologies and professional propagandists that make it all possible.
